2010 ITP Library Sector Twist Library Update for National Library Strategic Advisory Forum The major focus for EIT in 2010 has been the preparation of a business case to support the proposed merger of EIT with Tairawhiti Polytechnic in Gisborne. The proposal has this week been released for pubic consultation and, if it receives approval from the Minister (which seems highly likely), will probably take effect from 1st January 2011. This will have obvious impacts on the libraries and staff of both ITPs, but little detail is available at this time. EIT is currently working towards accreditation to move its BN to flexible/online delivery. This will have an effect on the library with regard to provision of both physical and online resources and information literacy, in particular. Changes in faculty structure (we now have four faculties, but used to have five) have impacted on our liaison librarian roles. The situation was further confused by the resignation of our Information Literacy Librarian who held one of these roles. Now that a replacement has been appointed we will be re-designating liaison roles. We are joining the KAREN network any day now! Voluntary retirements offered campus-wide earlier in the year resulted in the loss of our Interloans Librarian. She has not been replaced, and the work has been redistributed. Whitireia Community Polytechnic Library Heather Bradley Library & Information Manager * Early involvement and positive results in Library Self Evaluation and External Evaluation Review. * Collaboration in the form of reciprocal borrowing with Wellington Institute of Technology (Weltec) and The Open Polytechnic of NZ. Borrowing rights extended to Otago Polytechnic Midwifery students. Whitireia staff and students living outside of the Porirua region may become members of the Porirua public library. Investigations in progress to become part of the SMART consortium involving Weltec and four local public libraries with the same Library Management System. * Purchase of E-Cast which allows user access to 30 different television channels straight to desktops. Programmes can be copied onto DVDs or stored in a Learning Management System. Staff training in the use of E-Cast involved team teaching with the Online Learning Department and Library staff. * Digitisation of academic staff research through the National Library and DigitalNZ. * Cancellation of 50 print journal titles. A huge increase in online journal database usage. * Establishment of a Library position dedicated to the teaching of information literacy, as well as an online programme being available. * Architectural award for the new Library/Learning Centre in 2005. * Establishment of a separate Maori collection. Manukau Institute of Technology Library 2010 Significant events & changes Staff: New Institute Librarian appointed April 2010 Pat Liao MLIS completed 2010 Ying Xin Collection: Standards Project: Purpose of the project: • To ensure that the online and print collection remains relevant to student and lecturer needs. • To remove the duplication (online and print) of New Zealand and Joint New Zealand standards due to purchase of Standards New Zealand Online Library. Project drivers: • Increasingly dispersed learning locations. • Requirement to become more cost-effective. • Increasing demand for 24/7 access to library resources. • Increasing demand for the Institution to move toward paperless learning solutions. Changes: • Moved to online subscription for all NZ and joint NZ/ Australian standards. • Withdrawal of all print NZ and joint NZ/Australian standards. • Standards Collection reduced from 1146 items to 67 items. • Remaining International Standards integrated into General Collection. Project Shift: Purpose of the project: • To locate the library’s physical collection on level four in a way that: maximised space grouped material regardless of format minimised barriers to accessing information supported collection maintenance allowed for the shift of the Serials Collection from Level 2 to Level 4 Project drivers: • The desire to provide flexible information spaces • To respond to the increasing range of information formats • To make better use of the library’s physical collection Changes: • Relocation of Serials Collection from Level 2 to Level 4 in the library. • Audio, Video, and Serials Collections disestablished and integrated into the General Collection in one Dewey Decimal sequence. Consequences: • The General and Audio Collections were evaluated and reduced by 7947 items. • 403 titles in the Serials Collection were fully or partially withdrawn. • Students able to borrow videos and DVDs. • Space on level four arranged to make the collection more visible and provide room for quiet study space away from the entrance area. • Reaction from Library users has been mostly positive, after past users adjusted to the new arrangement. Tairawhiti Polytechnic Library/Learning Resource Centre, October 2010 Heather Mackay Library/Learning Resource Manager Wireless option is now accessible in the library (as from end of September) so that students are able to bring their own laptops and connect to the internet. The pod of PCs has had high use this year and the wireless option will be useful for students. Ideally the library will provide laptops/net books for student use. Tairawhiti Polytechnic works with other TEIs to extend the range and level of programmes that are available locally. Currently we collaborate with Waikato University, Wintec, and UCOL. This involves library to library liaison and Tairawhiti welcomes specialist library staff from the other institutions to visit and conduct classes with the conjoint students. This interaction encourages use of the e-resources provided by the other TEIs and also use of their distance library service; this year the students have had visits from Wintec and UCOL librarians. The students benefit from direct access to two library collections. This semester the library staff has revamped the Orientation session for new students based on the Cephalonia method also embedding some humorous YouTube library videos. The session was presented in a large study room and has proved to be much more focussed and successful than the previous tour around the library. The library is increasing its online presence by using Face Book, having recently set up a profile. How this media is used in the future is open for discussion with stakeholders. With the proposed merger with EIT imminent, the Tairawhiti Polytechnic library services will be positively impacted by improved access to more extensive databases and eBooks and a more up-to-date Library Management System. Wintec Library, 2010 Sarah-Jane Saravani Learning Hub Manager Facilities The new student learning Hub opened in March at the Avalon Campus. The Hub is a smaller version of the Gallagher Hub on the City Campus, which has proved such a popular learning space with students. The Library shares a service desk with ITS HelpDesk and Student Learning Services. Library hours were extended to seven days per week. Technologies Orientation activities expanded in 2010 to allow three options to students undertaking the Library tour – face- to-face, the virtual tour or the self-paced tour using mobile technologies. The virtual library tour is available through Moodle and the self-paced tour utilises QR code technology where the students snap the codes and read the embedded information on their mobile phones. The video tour of Wintec Library was translated into Japanese and released to a visitng group of nursing students and professors from Shimane Medical University, Japan. The CD was presented to the group to add to the Shimane Moodle site to allow future students to gain familiarity with Wintec Library facilities prior to arrival. At the commencement of Semester II, a QR code treasure hunt to raise awareness of both QR codes and various key areas of the Library was instigated and advertised through MyTec, the student portal. The aim was to increase student awareness of this context-specific technology, which is presently being investigated by teaching areas across Wintec. Subsequent work around QR codes includes embedding location-specific information on video clips within each bibliographic record on the OPAC to allow library users to locate their required resource using technology confidently. In conjunction with the Emerging Technologies Centre, work is underway is assessing the Open Source product Greenstone to build a test collection. In addition, ePrints is being reviewed along with other digital repository software. New fields for PBRF have been added to ePrints. Work has also been carried out on LibGuides which have been loaded onto the Emerging Technologies website. Staff New staff member Cathy Chang scommenced in June as the Emerging Technologies Librarian - a jointly- funded position within the Library and Emerging Technologies Centre. She is working with the repsotory software Eprints and investigating the associated eportfolio software MePrints, and is also looking at Greenstone for possible collection management. At the same time, a Subject Liaison Librarian vacancy was filled by Anu Sundar, who hails, most recently, from Tai Poutini Library. Cathy Chang is a fluent Mandarin speaker, and Anu Sundar a Hindi speaker. The Library staff is now completely cosmopolitan – representation from England, South Africa, India, Philippines, China, in addition to New Zealand. The Systems Librarian, Ellis Gatchalian was recognised for his achievements in the field of technology innovation with the Wintec
